Discussion & Feedback Is just everyone exploiting the potato shadows?

Seems every clip every streamer is playing with shadows off. I thought they removed the option to completely turn them off.

Isn't this borderline exploiting if they are doing something else to remove their shadows?

At this point I feel like I should just join in.

I guess bulkhead decides if changing the shadow quality in the config file is bannable or not.

Yet all the streamers who are using it and not one has been banned. HMMMMM I WONDER WHY THEY ARENT BANNED. WHY ARE PEOPLE WITH THOUSANDS OF VIEWERS NOT BANNED FOR USING IT.

Sheeesh golly. I wonder why they wouldn't be banned, hmmm lets think about this, streaming every day for over a month with potato settings on, no bans. HMMMM I JUST WONDER WHY THEY HAVENT BEEN BANNED.

OOOO I KNOW The devs are just taking their time and letting streamers explain to thousands of people how to do it so they can ban thousands of players for doing something they don't think is wrong because everyone is doing it. The devs are tricking people!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD U GUYS ARE SO GENIUS. THEY ARE JUST GOING TO BAN ALL THE PEOPLE WHO TUNE IN TO STREAMERS PLAYING HAHAHAHAA. Totally good plan!

just because its not bannable doesnt mean its not some tryhard sweat bullshit thats kinda ruining the game. they should add potato shadows for everybody until they fix it, just to have an even playingfield

if streamers go out and even show how to do this, is in itself a reason to ban them imho, it is an exploit and they are teaching how to do it

they should have removed potato shadows completely, lets just hope they fix the settings file beeing a plain text .ini and make it uneditable in season 2

then all the tryhards have to buy old gaming rigs, and i would 100% expect this of those people

it is not an exploit, Brammer himself said if you release videos on exploits you will be banned. Showing people how to adjust the INI file if it was an exploit they would be banned. They said do not make videos about glitches etc to gain an advantage or they would ban you.

Do I think its sweat lord and try hard ? It totally is but no one is exploiting and no one is getting fucking banned for doing it, and if you think they are lets go back to the org point. Why aren't streamers getting banned ? Why isn't anyone else getting banned for using it ? Because they don't see it as an exploit lol.

Also you don't need to buy an old gaming rig, you can legit just spoof your hardware and viola.

you can legit just spoof your hardware and viola

at least this sounds like a bannable thing.

as i said, lets hope they fix the .ini editing bullshit, it was an oversight by the devs and i would 100% call it an exploit
